Book Overview
Jesse sees dead people, monsters, demons, and lots of other things that go bump in the night that no one else can see. No one except his ailing grandmother--a woman who used her visions to help those living in her small town... the same rural community in all the scary stories Jesse's heard as a child. Man-eating ogres in trees. Farmhouses haunted by wraiths. Even pigs possessed by the devil. Upon his grandmother's passing, Jesse has no choice but to face his demons and whatever else might be awaiting him at grandma's house.

Jesse sees things too...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Jesse is going back to the Philippines, his parents' homeland, to help bury his grandmother, Lola. Everyone said Lola had supernatural powers, that she had visions and used the things she saw to help people. Jesse's not sure what to think of her, but he's worried that he might have inherited her powers. Because Jesse sees things too, even if nobody believes what he says. As the family grieves, can he use his own unique talents to help them heal? //Lola: A Ghost Story// is a novel about grief, about treasured family stories, and about the things people do for their families. Young Jesse doesn't know how to view his grandmother, and his internal struggles are both believable and realistic. The folklore woven through this story adds an intense richness, and the artwork renders the tale in flawless and terrifying beauty. The closure provided to a family tragedy is heartwarming even as the conclusion of the book lends an air of suspense. This short book is a worthy addition to the library of any avid graphic novel fan. Reviewed by Holly Scudero
